The Dazzle of Day

by Molly Gloss

The Dazzle of Day Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A New York Times Notable Book

The Dazzle of Day is a brilliant and widely celebrated mixture of mainstream literary fiction and hard SF. Molly Gloss turns her attention to the frontiers of the future, when the people of our over-polluted planet Earth voyage out to the stars to settle new worlds, to survive unknown and unpredictable hardships, and to make new human homes. Specifically, it is a story about people who have grown up on a ship that is traveling to a new world, and about the society and culture that have evolved among them by the time they arrive at their new home planet.

Synopsis:

Molly Glass turns her attention to the frontiers of the future when the families of our planet Earth voyage out to the stars to settle new worlds, to survive unknown and unpredictable hardships, and to make new human homes.
